    I saw this on someone's signature and have to share. Just remember "NO FOOD TASTES AS GOOD AS SKINNY FEELS." Now, keep repeating that over and over again!!

    ugh yes I have heard that quote before, can't say I like it, sounds like something an anorexic might say to herself. (Don't mean you, just in general)

    There will ALWAYS be opportunities for free food (goodies) EVERYWHERE for the rest of your life! You have to figure out how you are going to deal with it. If it's AMAZING...I say, give in and have a small, reasonable piece. If it's not that great...don't go by it. Wait it out...it won't take long and the office scavengers cleared the platter and it will be a distant memory.

    The guy cutting it not only didn't wash his hands....I saw him cleaning the cat boxes earlier at the vet clinic next door.

    Let's just say those sprinkles on top aren't candy


    Gives a whole new meaning to "litter box cake" :p

    Well I have decided I am not eating the free cake today. There is an official birthday party tomorrow, I want to be able to have some cake then and not feel guilty about it. If I eat cake today AND tomorrow, it will definelty set me back (physically and mentally). Tomorrow's cake is being bought by my friend, so I know it will be good. Today's cake is free for the whole friggin Ministry, no way they wasted any money on it.

    (BTW, if you live in Ontario, YOU bought that cake LOL)

    I made a litter box cake for Hallowe’en one year! Brand new litter pan, crumbled up cake mixed with vanilla pudding, then vanilla sandwich cookies crushed up and food-dyed to look like litter on top. Then microwaved tootsie rolls look just like turds. Serve with a brand new litter scoop. Fantastic!

    My birthday is tomorrow, and my godmother sent me gourmet baked goods as a gift. She lives far away, so she has no idea that I'm eating well. I feel so bad because it was probably expensive, too, but I have to give it away. I've kept little bits to try, which I log, but thankfully they are such weird flavors (good, just not your run-of-the-mill chocolate chip cookies) that I'm not that sad about it - I am interested in having a taste to see what they taste like, and then I'm good.

    Anyway, just walk away. It's not going to be as good as you think it will be.

    If all else fails, imagine it with maggots crawling around in it.

    And if that fails, well, you must have a pretty strong stomach. Congratulations! Have a small piece and do your best to estimate it in order to log it.

    It's not really free anyway is it? I will have "pay the price" one way or another.

    I think that's the best quote that you can remind yourself.


    Hey, since I paid for some of that cake, can I have some?

    Classic!!

    LOL! I must fess up - stole that from when I was a member of the WW message board. Great tactic! :)

    Sweetsarah, sounds like you've got a great plan!

    Honestly, there are days when I can stay away (figuring out the calories first can help that side a lot) but there are also days when I can't stop thinking about that darn free cake and have to go get a litle bite just to quiet the sugar demons in my brain.

    Yeah, sitting out in the open, with all those hands touching it, licking fingers, wiping frosting off the knife with their fingers, and sucking it off, and touching the cake again..:noway: A breeding ground for germs.

    If your good, have a Skinny Cow ice cream mini cup of ice cream! Low cal and yummy!

    I DID NOT EAT THE CAKE!

    It was a 'kick-off' ceremony of sorts for a fundraising campaign, a few speeches, then a line up formed for coffee and cake. I was firm in my decision- only coffee. Someone tried to push a piece of cake into my hands THREE TIMES--- I resisted!


    YAY ME!

    Uh-Oh, I got that! ha ha!
    Cake tastes nice at the time but afterwards when it's all gone and you're left with no cake then you think. Why did I bother? It wasn't THAT nice!

    Oh and I hardly ever eat birthday cakes because of people blowing out the candles. It's gross! It makes me think that cake now has an extra coating on top of it after that. Like a million yummy germs. NOT! Ewwww...

    ROTFL...yes it does help some people....The quote is my motto around here. I've lost 48.2 lbs so far and I tell myself this quote every time I'm wanting junk food that I'm about to eat. I think of it this way, it keeps me from making unhealthy choices. Being 48 lbs lighter and still not anorexic nothing I ate in the past made me feel good, but losing the weight certainly made me feel better about myself and better physically. Good luck with not eating the cake. Everyone gave you really good suggestions. When it comes down to it, the choice is yours. You can skip the cake or choose to eat it. Just think of how proud you will be of yourself when you skip the cake. It's all about willpower!
